On no! It's squishy :(

Well I sprinkled it with Cinnamon and it was doing well (not dying) and then I noticed mealy bugs again! Arrggghhhh! So I took it out side put it under a tree and sprayed it with some Bayer. Checked on it the next weekend and the pot was empty! Searched around and found it about 3 ft away and pretty dry (stupid Grackles) I immediately started CPR :)
It's been back in the house in a east facing window (we had the 2nd hottest summer on record) Checked today and look! It has 3 little nubs starting! I can't believe this poor thing is still alive~~~~~~

Stay tuned for the continuing saga of "Lucky"

Three little nubs..... YEAH!

Wow! Are you still keeping it in S/H?

No S/H, when I put it outside I planted it in potting soil. Too many days @ 115 degrees to keep the S/H moist. I did throw some on top of the soil because I like the look though :)

I think if we had a contest for the ugliest plant I could win~~~~

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! You certainly gave it your best shot.

What will most likely happen now is that you will get many new little bulbs all around the area that you cut out. That's probably what the little nubs are, with many more to come. Let them get at least the size of a dime or nickel before you remove them from the mother plant. I pot all my little Bowiea bulbs in one large pot and let them grow on from there. I don't pot them up into individual pots until they're at least larger than a quarter and better yet about the size of a 50-cent piece.

Also, watch out that you don't get water accumulating in the cut-out area.

Give Lucky a rub from me, and tell her she's doing great. LOL!!

LOL, will do :)

Well I put mine outside it got shade in morning and sun after lunch, didn't do anything so I gave it away.

I also have this plant that has pretty leaves but that's all, this is how it looked when I bought it it now has three long vines, still only leaves, do they ever get flowers.

Should have given you the name *S* it is Adenia, Fruticosa

Nice plant but they don't get flowers as far as I know. I have one that has never flowered. Neat caudex though. Most of mine were bought for the caudex and they don't flower.

Well guess thats the next one to go.

This is what the plant looks like now

Very nice, may ask what's it?

Lily, look a couple posts up, she gave the name :) I love that plant!

Wow! Who would have thought it's in the passion family! Thank Fish-knees. How is the "knees" thing going? lol

Yup, Passion flower :) I need one of those! "knees" are great :)

yes, you and me both need that Passion flower plant. lol Glad to hear the "knees" are great. ^_^

Just look at him now!

Wow, Barb, he's doing great! Nice red pot too!

He looks very happy now that is for sure. Good job hanging in there.

What's a cool plant! Love it!

I find it interesting when someone calls a plant either he or she, him or her. I don't think if plants as having any gender identity. Are some more masculine, others more feminine? Or are they all male to some and all female to others? They are all 'it' to me. ^_^

This one was so homely it couldn't possibly be a "she" :)

I don't think of them as sexed (though most plants are both male and female of course). I don't think of my cars that way, either. But I do think of my plants as "little guys" (neutral sex)... as in, "Oh! tell me the story of this little guy!"... Come to think of it, when talking plants with friends, sometimes I'll say "he"... "How's he doing back there?"

Plants are truly amazing aren't they?

Lol, my "squishy" guy is doing amazing! I need to remember to take a pic and post.

Yes please Knees. Post some pictures.

Here he is! Sure glad I didn't give up on him :)
The second pic shows the bulb, it split into 2. The larger one is the size of a baseball.

Very nice. Bowiea volubilis is one of my favorite plants. The 'cloud' of green growth is beautiful.

Wow, Fishie, what a great plant! Amazing his comeback.

My plant is still going crazy :) It was covered in blooms several months ago and yesterday I noticed something about the size of a pea that was laying in the soil. Is this a seed? What do I do with it? Plant it? Let it dry? Break it open? I'm so excited :O
